| | Ron Paul & Hemp for American Farmers - 178 sec
[Economist articles in description - Ron Paul mentioned in one]
A video consisting of an US Government history lesson about hemp which leads into an argument for hemp and then Ron Paul's Hemp legislation. Hemp has the potential to be a huge boon for American farmers and the US economy all while helping the environment and improving US security by lowering our reliance on foreign oil...and Ron Paul is the only candidate in favor of legislation to allow American Farmers to grow it.

(Economist - 6/23/07)
Nowadays farmers are banned from growing hemp without a permit from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which usually refuses to grant one. So many hemp products in America—food, lotions, clothing, paper and so forth—are imported from China or Canada, where farmers have been allowed to grow hemp commercially since 1998.
Hemp grows so easily that few pesticides or even fertilisers are needed. "Feral" hemp is said to grow by the roadside in Iowa and Nebraska. Barbara Filippone, owner of a hemp fabric company called Enviro Textiles, says demand has rocketed—sales are growing by 35% a year. Nutiva, a California-based hemp company that sells hemp bars, shakes and oils, saw sales rise from under $1m three years ago to $4.5m last year. "Hemp is the next soy," predicts John Roulac, Nutiva's founder.
American farmers would love to grow hemp. North Dakota, which in 1999 became the first state to allow industrial hemp farming, has taken the lead. This week two farmers from the state filed a lawsuit to force the DEA to issue permits to grow hemp; the farmers had applied for permits back in February, thus far to no avail. Ron Paul, a Texas congressman and presidential candidate, could win over farmers in Iowa because of his pro-hemp lobbying. In February he introduced a bill in Congress that would allow Americans to grow it.

(Economist - 7/14/07)
Nancy Pelosi, the new speaker of the House of Representatives, set up a special committee to come up with a solution to the nation's energy woes by July 4th, so that America's new political masters could declare "energy independence" on the same day their forebears renounced the colonial yoke.
But July 4th has come and gone, Ms Pelosi as yet has no energy bill and America is still just as firmly yoked to expensive, dirty, imported energy as ever. The price of oil is near the nominal record reached last year, and petrol costs well over $3 a gallon. Not only have the Democrats shelved any plan for limiting greenhouse emissions; they have also embraced two of Mr Bush's more pernicious ideas: using greenery as an excuse to dole out subsidies to ungreen lobbies; and claiming a bogus link between climate change and energy independence.
Sadly, however, the Senate's energy bill weds sensible steps on fuel economy and energy efficiency with all manner of less helpful, populist measures, including new anti-price-gouging rules aimed at big oil companies and hand-outs for farmers in the form of new incentives for expensive (and ungreen) corn-based ethanol.
The Democrats hold at least two suspect truths to be self-evident. Most obviously, they think that politicians should micro-manage energy policy, encouraging some technologies and neglecting others. That ignores most of the lessons of economics, but it is decidedly well grounded compared with the Democrats' other verity: that slowing global warming and reducing dependence on imported fuels go hand-in-hand. What sense does it make to give preference to American ethanol over the cheaper and more climate-friendly Brazilian sort? (Indeed, if you embrace the goal of "energy security", bigger imports of Brazilian ethanol might help, by reducing America's demand for oil from more hostile lands.)
The Democrats' leaders might calculate that it is worth dressing up an energy bill with patriotic talk and weighing it down with subsidies in order to buy political support for more contentious measures.

Note: I have received a bit of confusion concerning my mention of Mark Jacobs in the movie. Some think that when the gold farmer said that Jacobs sucks that I think Jacobs sucks, which is not the case at all. I like Mark Jacobs. I had a gold farmer say that; and Associate Professor Evil slapped him for doing so. I played Dark Age of Camelot for nearly two years and loved every moment of it, so I have great respect for Mark Jacobs and his stance on gold farming. Which is why I had the shout-out in the movie. It is only natural that gold farmers would hate him though, which is why my character said what he did. But he got his just rewards!

Ge Jin, PhD candidate in Communication at UCSD, is researching areas of the computer gaming culture in China, real money trade in online games and documentary filmmaking. In China, a new kind of factory hires people to play online games like World of Warcraft and Lineage and produce in-game currency, equipment, high-level characters and other virtual goods. Affluent gamers from Korea, Europe and America pay real money for these virtual goods to quickly raise their status in games. Jin's research takes a close look at how these factories, commonly known as "gold farms", organize the production and distribution of virtual goods.

PlusPa. Farmers Hope for Natural Gas WindfallPa. Farmers Hope for Natural Gas WindfallThe Associated PressFarmers in Northeast Pennsylvania are leasing their land to natural gas companies and hoping for a multi-million dollar windfall. (July 14)((Susquehanna County, PA)) NATS: cow noises It may look like an ordinary Pennsylvania farm - but what lies beneath appears to be worth millions of dollars. NATS: rooster Before she realized the REAL cash cow on her farm, Elizabeth Downey put the land up for sale, needing money to keep the family afloat. ((Elizabeth Downey, Farm Owner)) "We needed the money to help raise this child." But in what has become an everyday occurrence here, a better offer came her way. NATS: natural gas well being drilled She leased her property to a natural gas company, and stands to make millions of dollars over the next several years in royalties. NATS: rooster crowing. There's a land rush underway here. Just over two years ago "land men," many from Texas; started leasing mineral rights from landowners here for as little as two dollars an acre. Now, the going rate has skyrocketed to 2 thousand, 500 dollars an acre, for a five year lease. ((Tom Murphy, Penn State University)) "You have whole communities that have essentially won the lottery, because of these lease payments." Tom Murphy is an agriculturalist from nearby Penn State University. "This is a huge mineral resource that's coming to market at a time the market is asking for more and more gas. There is really no land for sale any more. In about the last six to eight months any land that came to the marketplace has disappeared." The source of the fuel, and thus the wealth, is a 300-million year old land formation called the Marcellus Shale that stretches from West Virginia to upstate New York. ((Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press)) ((Susquehanna County, PA)) "Geologists have known for more than a century that the thick, hard shale here contains lots of natural gas. "But it wasn't until now that it made economic sense to go deep underground and unlock it in large quantities. "New drilling technologies and rising fuel costs have changed all that. "But here in Northwestern Pennsylvania, the natural gas market is purely speculative. "Not even one cubic foot has been extracted and brought to market. Yet." NATS: tractor Ted Barbour stands to make 15 percent of all the natural gas mined from his family farm - if it produces. "Hope changes a lot of things, and there's a lot of hope here this is going to be a big thing. But that's tempered with the fact they haven't put a pipeline in yet." Gas companies and others have plans to build a pipeline from these farmland wells into the huge markets of New York City, Philadelphia and other densely populated areas in the northeast - by the end of this year. Lester Greevy and Dale Tice are attorneys who broker deals between land owners and oil companies - and business is good. ((Lester Greevy, Lawyer)) "Just the energy crunch created a perfect storm." ((Dale Tice, Lawyer)) "Who knows how high the prices are going to go? A lot of certainty and a lot of excitement right now." Geologists speculate some of these prospect wells may produce up to three million cubic feet a day of natural gas. Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania
